It could be playing a dangerous game to oppose Dubois as he embarks on his three-year-old campaign here and, although his stable have not firing of late, he showed enough in his starts for David Loder to suggest he will be hard to beat here. The rest with experience have not really set caught the imagination up to press and the likes of Bahamian Reef, Gold Mask and Starmix do not look to be anything out of the ordinary. Therefore, there could be some mileage to be gained in giving Zilmy a chance to fill the forecast slot. The Peter Harris-trained colt is bred to make an impact at this sort of trip and is one to bear in mind if the prices permit. However, Dubois sets a fair standard on his juvenile form and gets a confident vote to score under Frankie Dettori today.
